Manchester derby: 'Form goes out of the window'

[Getty Images] Manchester United host Manchester City on Sunday, and former players have been talking to BBC Radio Manchester about the derby. Ex-United midfielder Paul Ince said: "It's a big test for United. We talk about City bringing in some tough midfield players but they've also got 30-goals goalscorer Erling Haaland, [Phil] Foden looks like he's starting to find his feet and they look exciting again. "So, that's probably the test for United to see how far they've come. But like any Manchester derby - it doesn't really matter whether you won the game before, you've got to win that game. Form goes out of the window. "It will show where both teams are at at this stage of the season." While former City striker Uwe Rosler told BBC Radio Manchester: "I understood straight away the magnitude of those games and what it meant for our supporters. "The biggest advantage for City is that they played the Champions League game on Tuesday and United played on Thursday. City had more time for recovery, more time to prepare and coming in off the back of a winning streak. "But in the end it's a team against a team, men against men on the pitch and we all know United have world-class players. It will not be a walkover. "But I'm pretty sure we will win the match."
